Definitely get 10
Going to keep running it as a VM until release and just testing/looking at the new features, as soon as it available to buy (is that the right word if its free?) I will be upgrading my 8.1

Hi there
Actually an interesting and AFAIK not illegal way will be to get an update for a W7 VM and then clone the updated VM. I wonder though if one then did a V2P (Virtual to Physical) conversion to a REAL machine would it activate successfully !!!!
I'll have to try this at the appropriate time.
I'll certainly update my 8.1 machine(s) -- can't see any reason to keep 8.1 if W10 works OK as it seems to be doing now.

x7 has also been reported as a security flaw make sure you get the patch if and when it's released,
Corel software vulnerabilities let attackers execute malicious code on - Windows 7 Help Forums
On another note if I did need a special codec.. I would also use vlc media player,
Fortunately wmp plays all my files and I don't even need vlc :)
I can't recall if I ever had playback problems after I started using W7.
OTOH, VLC updates regularly break other functions/tools in the program itself.
VLC v2.0.8 was the last version that worked 100% for the purposes I use it for.
I assume that you don't have any media using MKV or FLAC.
imo there needs to be a poll option for "undecided".
Hi,
None that I know of,
I do have 1 breaking bad series via iTunes that won't play but I've seen it a hundred times so there's no priority on it,
Not sure if vlc would play it or not ?
Cheers.
I just stumbled upon this article:
ZDNet - Charlie OsborneVulnerabilities have been discovered in some versions of the popular VLC media player which may allow a cyberattacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.

The comments on that article seem to indicate that it isn't a VLC issue, but related to some dll (libavcodec_plugin).
